I'd like to block off large ranges of IP's, much like the iptables does for a Linux server. I want to cut out China and a few others completely? Can I do that just with the standard Win 2003? I know the IIS has tables, but I need to also include all things outside the IIS too. What software is better for this?
View 4 RepliesI am a staff member at Markee Dragon (www.markeedragon.com), a large gaming targeted forum. We have a slight dilemma. We are looking for ways to stop as many proxies as possible from entering the website. We don't want the hassle of single IP banning and are looking for something somewhat automated. From my experience there is not much you can do with proxies but hopefully I am wrong and someone knows a solution to this.
The reason we are trying to have proxies blocked is because of the nature of the website.
We are a trading site and scamming has given Markee Dragon somewhat of a bad name and we are trying to combat against that. Most of the scammers who are banned just evade the bans through proxies.
sometimes, some people may try to guess the password of ssh,whm,ftp,...etc,

do you only use iptables to place this problem?
or do you install any other scripts to secure your server?

We have a few customers who have multiple C classes with us and we are wondering how most of you monitor for blacklisting.
We currently randomly pick a few IPS and check them once a month but this is not very thorough. We were wondering if there is a program out there that can check say a /20 automatically once a month or atleast something we can initiate an automated check once a month with?
Most dcs offer 1-25 ip addresses... looking for some that offer 100-300 IPs.
Let me know any you have used, or any recommendations, or any places you know of that offer several IPs..
My justifiaction would be for SEO and SSL (As each SSL cert needs its own IP) -- a lot of datacenters don't like to give out more IPs, so I need some more lenient ones.
Samba accesses can be restricted to certain IP / ranges through the access tab in the Plesk Samba extension screen.This builds the /etc/samba/ smb. conf.include file with entered information.All well and good so far.
This file contains the standard 'do not modify...' text, so making manual changes directly here is undesirable. In Plesk are some Linux commands such as /usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler through which permitted changes can be made from the command line.
Is there a similar command included which would allow a shell script to make changes in a supported manner like the /usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler file does? any changes the script makes can be seen in the Plesk Panel and unless admin changes them through the panel will be persistent.
OpenVZ different gateways IP ranges, unpingable from outside world "feature" any fix?
The server main IP (eth0) is 200.44.32.42, the allocation is 200.44.32.40/29 - 200.44.32.41 being the GATEWAY.
The ADDITIONAL IP allocation is 200.44.32.96/28, 200.44.32.97 being the GATEWAY.
Now, if I be specific on /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and declare everything like so:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=10.20.47.255
HWADDR=
IPADDR=10.20.42.198
NETMASK=255.255.248.0
NETWORK=10.20.40.0
ONBOOT=yes
GATEWAY=10.20.40.1
TYPE=Ethernet
Please ignore all the above IPs config.
Now, using that VE nodes on the 200.44.32.96/28 range are unpingable. How can I fix that?
Please take note that I remove all settings from ifcfg, and leave IPADDR and GATEWAY, the internet can ping the nodes. But within the 200.44.32.0/24 no-one can ping the nodes on the 200.44.32.96/28 range ( Which is my problem, that I came here to solve).

I'm having a lengthy issue where my databases are to large to import in phpmyadmin using plesk. Unfortunately I dont have direct access to phpmyadmin and can only access it by DB user through plesk.
I have tried to edit php.ini in the following locations:
upload_max_filesize = changed this to 64M
post_max_size = changed this to 32M
maximum_execution_time = changed this to 300
maximum_input_time = changed this to 300
Why am I still not able to import my DB's which are about 8MB each?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a website which has about 20K users, and now I am using VPS plan at LunarPages.
However, I have encountered a trouble of out-of-memory. Although I have configured my Apache and MySQL carefully, the 512M memory is not enough. Therefore, the users' expirence is not good these days because my site is very unstable.
I contacted Lunarpages, asking them whether I can upgrade my VPS to bigger RAM, but they said the ONLY way to get a RAM bigger than 512M is to upgrade to dedicated hosting plan.
The following are some stats of my website:
Total Members: 20k
Online at the same time: max 600, average 300
The Lunarpages VPS plan:
www[dot]lunarpages[dot]com/virtual-private-server/
disk space: 20G
RAM: 512M
price: $42 / mo
Now I am not sure whether to migrate to didicated hosting plan, because currently, the main problem is just the size of RAM. Other resources e.g (CPU, network etc. ) are not my bottleneck. So I think it seems not worthwhile for me to migrate to the dedicated hosting plan with a doubled price (even more, almost 3x if I need 1G RAM), just for a larger size of RAM.
Can you guys give some suggestions to choose a VPS provider for my site?
The factors taken into my consideration include:
* RAM size: at least (1G for peak, 768M garantee). The bigger, the better. Nice if can choose larger size when needed.
* price
* bandwidth: 1T/mon?
* easy to upgrade to dedicated host: just in case that one day I will have to use dedicated.
* whether there are coupons for a lower price.
I've been with zone.net for a couple months now, and I have a guaranteed 512MB of memory, which I seem to constantly be hitting, which seems to result in processes being killed and http access vanishing. Growing quite annoying.
I'm looking into moving onto a new provider that can provide more guaranteed RAM for about the same price.
Space isn't a huge deal, I'd do fine with a meager 5GB. Bandwidth I need at least 200GB, but wouldn't mind more.
I'd like to stay managed if possible, as I'm not as well versed in server workings as I should be. Also am in need of cPanel, which I know is a spendy sucker.
My budget is something around $70 a month, and I don't really want to go much higher than that. Still a poor college boy :/
Can anyone suggest such a provider? I've browsed around a lot of the VPS hosts but can't seem to find one that has as much RAM as I need for a decent price. All the ones that seem to have 512MB+ are pretty expensive, and offer a lot more other stuff (space/bandwidth) than I need.
As a final note, the line speed isn't that big of a deal. I'm currently on a 3mbit and am surviving, but going back to a higher speed line would be great
Just had a quick question about backing up a large MySQL DB. I have a database that is 50gb with about half a billion entries in it. One table itself is about 40gb, the other 10gb consists of smaller tables.
The problem is, I want to back the database up and be able to keep it LIVE at the same time (as it will fall behind quickly if it's pulled for more than a few hours, as there are somewhere in the area of a million entries an hour, plus other deletions and queries).
I'm currently using iptables to ban IP addresses from the servers, like:
Code:
iptables -A INPUT -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j DROP
I ran a "spam trap" for the last few months and now I have over 11000 IP addresses who were trying to spam on my website (guestbooks, phpBB and forms) and I want to ban them all (pretty sure bots run from them).
My question - is iptables the way to do it? I mean does banning such a large number of addresses have any significant performance or other issues I should be aware of (except of the fact I may be banning some legitimate traffic)? Is the -A INPUT the way to ban them all or is there a more appropriate way of baning such a number of addresses?

to delete and reset the domlogs files from Apache server, as they have become too large, but I want to keep a record of the past few years website stats.
I could download the domlogs files (they look like MS-DOS applications) but once I have I am not sure how to read them, is there some off server application that could open these files? I currently view stats in awstats from cPanel, but the size of the files is causing problems with updating now.
The only thing I can think of doing is taking screenshots of the relevant stats that I want to keep, before deleting the files, but was thinking there must be a better solution than that.
Linux Fedora 6, Apache 2 with Mod Security, MySQL.
Our mod_sec logs get incredibly large very quickly. In the configuration for mod_security, we have specified logging options as
SecAuditEngine RelevantOnly
SecAuditLogRelevantStatus "^[45]"
but the mod_sec.log gets to almost 10 GB (in a matter of 5-6 days) before it is truncated to mod_sec.log.1 and a new one is created.
Is there a way we can specify that a max size of one log file is 1 GB, for example?
Or another question, how come it gets so huge so quickly? We thought that logging "RelevantOnly" will only display errors / requests that are deemed security risks.
I have a customer who wants to sell access to videos of conferences he runs.
Each flv vid is approx 1 - 1 1/2 hors long approx 380MB each and there will be about 12 videos per conference.
approx 4 - 8 conferences per year.
My customer suggests 10 - 20 people will buy access to watch each video.
Access to watch the videos will be through a password protected webpage.
issue - the current site hosting company only allow uploads up to 150MB per file.
Can I host the flash videos elsewhere and deliver them through the password protected web page without anyone else being able to see them via server they are hosted on?
This would also reduce the bandwidth going through his current site server.
I have several gigs worth of data which my programmer wants to put into MS SQL 2005. But the last time I check, MS SQL comes in blocks of only a few MB (eg 200MB for $25).
Now if I have 10GB of data, that yould cost me like...thousands?).
One solution is to use mysql which is free of course, but the website is done in ASP.NET. How will this affect performance?
Also, is there any other way which I can purchase SQL 2005 myself? If yes, how much for one domain name?
I would like to have around 100 Gb with room to expand if possible.
This will be hosting for a radio station, archival material.
I am unsure of where to look, the sites I have seen are pretty small in scale as far as capacity.
Further, I would also like to be able to re-sell this, instead of just setting up a straight account.
Further if at all possible I would like to bundled with some other small hosting packages (wordpress sites) on a reselling basis.
My client's website needs to hold files that are around 60 or 70 MB. The host only allows files up to 10 MB. Is that typical?

I have a big website.
MySQL Size: 1 GB
Diskspace: 2 GB
It's over loading the server, so I am moving it to a dedicated server.
In the past, basically I would pause the live website (e.g. turn off forum). Move the data, turn everything back on in the new server and then change the nameservers.
But for this website, I don't want to pause the website nor I wish to loose any posts because of DNS propagation. (e.g. user might post data, which is stored in the current server. But then after propagation, the user won't see his post)
My server is running WHM 11.15.0 cPanel 11.18.6-S24739 /
REDHAT Enterprise 4 i686 on standard.
I am using EXIM.
Lately, users on my server have not been able to receive most attachments. E-mails with small attachments, such as an 11,000 byte file, show up just fine. An e-mail from the same person, but with a 560,000 byte attachment will simply never show up, and there is no returned "bounce" message to the sender. It is like the e-mail was never sent.
The odd thing is, e-mails sent to and from e-mail addresses hosted on my server have no trouble sending/receiving large attachments of any size (I have tested up to several megs in size). For example, tom@example.com and joe@another_example.com both have their domains hosted on my server. They can send each other large attachments with no trouble. But, if tom@yahoo.com or tom@gmail.com tries to send a larger attachment to tom@example.com, the e-mail and the attachment never show up.
Things to note:
1) The e-mail accounts are no-where near their storage limits.
2) message_size_limit is not set, so I assume the max attachment limit is the default 50mb.
I have a situation here.
I wanted to transfer a file (about 10GB) from one server to another server. Both server are on the same LAN.

I suspect it won't allow me to download because the file is too big.
